Why is Ichirin so unloved? She's got a cool outfit, pleasant personality and a big fluffy cloud friend!

What isn't to love?

By /jp/ standard she is not sexual and fuckable enough especially with a big dude beside her.

Though /jp/ will find a way to sexualize her, anyway.

Getting fisted by Unzan doesn't seem very appealing somehow.

I think it is the 'nun' aspect that baulks some folks, especially those of a hardcore religious background, coupled with being just one of a real interesting cast and being an early level character is a recipe for being lost in the shuffle for my money.

They can't all be popular. I think she was simply overshadowed by some other UFO characters.
Nazrin, Kogasa, Byakuren, Nue. How do you compete with that?

Being playable.
Oh wait.

>> No.15671163

On top of her more conservative appearance, there's also already a large male presence in her life, which I imagine makes it harder to "waifu" her.

I mean, how to do compete with a kind cloud youkai who has protected her for centuries?

Sometimes it makes me sad to think that /jp/ seems only judging a character by waifu standard.

I like the characters for other reason and I feel lonely on /jp/.

Dont worry Aya, no one loves you in the waifu way, or any other way. You fucking paparazi parasite, crow, you should be a vulture.

>>15671086
Because she's a Byakuren fangirl.
Her drinking just makes me hate her more, it shows she doesn't really adhere to Buddhism, but she keeps supporting that shitty faction.

Taoism is shit too, only Shinto in Gensokyo. House Christians are fine too given the time period and the fact that they never reveal themselves.

Reimu's god could be manifested now if others werent stealing her faith.

Gensokyo is Japanese.
Shinto is only in Japan.
Buddhism is all over the place, and Daoism is Chinese trash. A world fuelled by belief must prioritize native faiths.

Shinto came from the chinese, just like everything else in Japan. Japs just gave it their own spice.

She gives the impression of being way too masculine for me. With that outfit, her fighting style and having a male ghost following her around I just don't find her feminine in any way. I also dislike her design.

>> No.15673822

She wasn't fleshed out until after SoPM and HM. By then it was too late.

In the long run, being playable and redesigning her was a good idea. Before her redesign I don't think anyone gave her much thought. It's much more vibrant a design.

Also her last word is "The Magnificent Era of Old Men"

How is she not feminine if her dress more resemble female buddhist nun than Byakuren?
Byakuren either dress like princess or male monk like in manga.

Her powers I believe, or lack of.

If her powers was shooting pink cloud fists by herself instead of summoning another character to do it, she would have been more popular, since fans seem to preffer powerful characters much more than weak ones, and Ichirin can't do much alone except for wheel danmaku and boxing. Combine that with having a boring and undefined personality back in UFO, and being part of cast that was never that much popular as a whole, and she was doomed from the start.

I've always liked her though. At first it was because her unusual design and her association with the sky, which gave her some great fanart. Then it was just her unpopularity that made me root for her, until she became one of my favorites, which I'm glad because SoPM, HM and ULiL did wonders to her.

I never expected her to be playable or get this much attention, and she got more than what many other characters will ever get. So I'm still happy even if fans don't care much about her.
